Love this kid, and how happy he is MOST of the time. Yesterday he stayed in nursery BY HIMSELF for the first time. Hallelujah! Rob's been wonderful going to nursery with him for the past 3+ months.

All I want to do today
is lay on the couch and drink orange juice (too bad I can't even drink orange juice). All moms should have super immunities - pregnant moms should NEVER get sick. Too bad that isn't reality. I've got a lovely cough, stuffy nose, and I'm just exhausted. And we've got about 3 weeks left.
The good news is that the baby clothes, spit up rags, and blankets are all washed, lots of my christmas shopping is done, and I even did my visiting teaching for the month already.
My weight gain is still 23 lbs for the pregnancy. I've been having fairly regular contractions since the kidney stone. I know it's better for this kid (still un-named) to stay in a bit, but tomorrow is 37 weeks, so at least he's safe at that point.
Sans orange juice, it will be a couch day. The boys are going to love an all day TV day - don't know when the last time was that we had one of those. I guess I'll do a lot of internet shopping...

Turkey Day
In my effort to do more fun things (especially for the holidays), for Thanksgiving we made these little treats. Believe it or not, it was harder for me not to eat the rolls I made for dinner than to avoid all this chocolate. However, there are still Whoppers in the cupboard, and I plan on indulging in some of those as soon as the baby is born.
Something I learned in this process: Double Stuff would have worked better. We made this work okay, but next time, I'll be sure to use the Double Stuff ones.
Picture Day
I remember when I used to take photos quite often. It was a sad moment the other day when Rob asked if I thought I'd ever "get back into it." Yikes, I've been that bad. I did remind him that I had recently done two little shoots of friends' little girls, and that I still love it. At the same time, our house is still in major need of decor (and blinds), Christmas is coming, and at the rate that this pregnancy is going, this little boy may be here before Christmas, so I'm trying to stay on top of everything before I fall behind. Never mind the bb-sized kidney stone I passed three weeks ago, or the gestational diabetes I got diagnosed with on the same day of the kidney stone. Never a dull moment, right? Apparently this little guy (still unnamed) likes to remind me of his presence almost constantly. This pregnancy hasn't been a walk in the park.
Yesterday was fantastic weather, and lighting - when we went to meet friends at the park, my camera was in tow, and I actually used it.
Guy looks so serious - he's actually pulling Nerds out of a box.
And the latest with the pregnancy: I've gained about 22 lbs this pregnancy. I have 4 weeks left (from yesterday), max. But with the few issues that arisen, the dr. is thinking a 39 week induction would be good. Typically, my water breaks in the middle of the night (Friday night, with both Guy and Coop). This time, I've got Strep B (as I did with Coop). I'm hoping to avoid the NICU experience (never even had Coop in my room) by getting in early enough to pre-medicate and avoid all the testing they did with Coop that kept him in the NICU. That's the main reason I'd like to induce.
